- Genre / vibe
- Snarky sci‑fi novella with an anxious murderbot
- When it hits best
- On the train when you want something short, sharp, and oddly wholesome
- My take
- If you’ve ever wanted to mute your own social anxiety and just watch TV instead of talking to people, you and Murderbot are the same species. Tight plot, big heart, zero wasted pages. I inhaled it.
